Dear ICANN -

Regarding the proposed rules governing companies that provide WHOIS privacy 
services (as set forth in the Privacy and Policy Services Accreditation Issues 
Policy document):

- urge you to respect internet users' rights to privacy and due process.  The 
UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights lists privacy in Article 12.

  *   No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, 
family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. 
Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference 
or attacks.

- Everyone deserves the right to privacy.
- No one's personal information should be revealed without a court order, 
regardless of whether the request comes from a private individual or law 
enforcement agency.
- There are people in countries with oppressive regimes who might die if their 
names are revealed.


Private information should be kept private. Thank you.


Joe Johaneman
